Hi Brian,
You've made me curious. I just stood up a 44 net BGP connection (thank you!). Wouldn't it improve the performance of the 44net traffic (not the internet exchanged traffic) if I also setup RIP over tunnels to the tunneled sections of the network?
Thanks,

I'm unclear on what you would be advertising via the RIP broadcasts.
Sorry if I'm unclear, so what I'm envisioning is setting up tunnels to the other participants of the 44 net who aren't directly internet routed and using RIP advertisement for them. Then traffic between me and them can bypass the main AMPR 44 net router, reducing latency and reducing bandwidth requirements at the root node.
In other words, if anyone on my subnets access the internet it would route through our BGP connected uplink. If they were communicating with another subnet on the AMPRNet it would tunnel directly to them.
What do you think?
